Wow, I can’t believe we’ve already entered into the final month of the year. Can you?

This year has been a crazy year for my family and I. Lots of ups and downs and craziness all around.

My hope is that the coming year will see many more victories and celebrations to come.

As usual, the new month brings a review of the previous month. I’ve got to say. November was a crazy month for the blog. You’ll see why in the top posts section.

1. Catalyst East 2013 LeCrae Moore Notes – By far and away the most visited post this month. And it happened because of Twitter. LeCrae Moore retweeted the post to his audience and it took off like wildfire. Never underestimate the power of social media.

It was originally written in 2012 for a debate that did not really exist at the time. However in 2013 the US army decided to open combat roles to women. This has sparked a debate in the UK well. Suddenly my old post pulled a lot of traffic.

But more importantly it got me to write again after a longer break.

That seems like it could be a touchy subject to deal with Soren. I could see it drawing a lot of attention and discussion.

It is. Regardless of standpoint.
I blog with my personal experience as a reference. I had women in my combat units in Afghanistan and Iraq. The only problem I can think of is bias.

And great to see your blog thrive. I just came across it last month. I like the way you write: Interesting, passionate and to the point.

I follow it via G+.

Looking forward to read your next post.

I like that you’re growing, Joe. My little blog is, too! But slowly. However, I’ve been looking at my stats each month and am getting better. Google is loving me for my Liebster post and Google Plus Circles posts. I get about 50 to 70 new visitors a day.

But they don’t subscribe.

Oh well, growth takes time.

Good for you on all you accomplish over here.

50 to 70 new visitors a day isn’t too shabby Lorraine. Especially with how new your site is. Pretty soon you’ll probably overtake me (-;

To get more subscribers, you might want to try offering a freebie. I know you’ve got your book but maybe offer a couple of the points in a cool printout or something like that.
